Orca off of "The Point"! Not.

Orca off of "The Point"! Not.




Anyone see this? People are really getting bored to post fake stuff like this, and I'm not referring to parody. Seems that the story involved a 10-year old kid that snapped pics of Orcas off of the point in Hatteras.

That ain’t nothin. Sasquatch knocked on our back door last night in Kitty Hawk and asked if he could borrow a couple of eggs.

Apparently, the Virginian Pilot picked it up as well. I would think they have fact checked this. But they could be duped as well.

Okay all you non believers. I have not read the VA Pilot Article nor any local stuff, but WE DO HAVE KILLER WHALES OFF THE OUTER BANKS! As a retired Charter Boat Captain with a 25 year Outer Banks career, I have seen several, PLEASE NOTE THE WORD SEVERAL, over the years in the Winter Time. There was a Mom and Calf directly off the Monument in KDH but out about a mile or two. Stayed around for a couple of days. In addition there was a famous Video taken from the Wanchese Charter Boat (I believe Phideaux) about 15 years ago of a Killer Whale coming up alongside the boat to eat a Bluefin Tuna. NOW THE PROBLEM. The photo says it was only 30 yard out ?????????? Whoa, that size ORCA would probably scrape bottom and probably not be able to get up enough speed to jump that high. Oh well, just sayn.

The “non-believers” are simply pointing out that the Red Drum post was 100% fake. It was pointed out by several people in the original post and every share on Facebook. You also commented in one of the posts. All social media is so filled with fake posts for attention, clicks, likes, etc. I looked for the original post again this morning after seeing the VA Pilot article and I couldn’t locate it. I assume RD took it down or maybe Facebook hid it from me since I had seen it.

You mean what I read on the internet may not be true? Confused Banana


RE: Orca off of "The Point"! Not.




My post was not meant as disrespectful but just to point out that we do have Killer Whales off the Outer Banks in very, very limited numbers. Sooooo could it be remotely true, well you be the Jury. I brought out that a Killer Whale that close is highly unlikely. We do have people who think they are "Cute" or get their kicks over fake pictures. We do have one person who goes by the name of Alex Lex on Facebook who has posted idiotic photos of the Outer Banks.

So I am guessing STOLAT Charters is not going to be offering "Orca watching tours" ......so much misinformation out there.

I've done a number of cruise from NYC to the Caribbean. Once in 2018 off of Hatteras their was an announcement on the ship we were slowing so people could see a pod of Orca's off the port side. Sure enough their was a pod of 12-14 of them. They were doing circles, I'm guessing they hit a batch of fish


RE: Orca off of "The Point"! Not.




For those that do an Offshore (Gulfstream) fishing Trip with us it is not uncommon, but not guaranteed, to see an acre of breaking Dolphins, many Pilot Whales, huge Manta Rays, Sea Turtles, large Hammerhead Sharks and if you're lucky a fin whale (generally not summer). We had a customer once tell us they wasted money on a Sound Dolphin Watch, when they saw a variety of Sea Life on a trip.


RE: Orca off of "The Point"! Not.




I thought the same thing about the distance. Those pictures are of something a lot more than 30 yards off shore. That close to shore the water is only a few feet deep and is in the slough between the shore and the bar.

. Agree we saw dolphins galore and smaller kinds of whales follow our charter boat while gulf stream fishing. And nothing on a dolphin cruise.
